It took me less than 15 seconds to create an account on hackernews using a temp-mail (any free service would suffice) to respond to this comment (less than writing the comment itself)

try creating a new google account: - whoops, you need a phone number - whoops, you need to go through a welcome guide (it's getting progressively harder to skip it) - etc. etc.

All that for trying some use random service some random posted on some random news aggregator website without tying it to your 'main online identity' ............
